Default Well, the day has come.

My car now has a new owner. A guy from Utah met me in Denton this morning and loaded her onto his truck. I guess im still in a mellow, mixed emotions state with how I feel about everything. The car meant the world to me. Over the past 3 years of ownership the car has really been the only thing that has stayed constant in my life. So many memories were wrapped up in it, it was hard to let it go. Jeremy, the new owner, has big plans for it that consist of a 408 Solid Roller with a T-88 single turbo, the car should really fly. I know he will take really good car of it and he seems to have the same passion for cars that I once had. I'd just like to thank everyone on LS1tech for being awesome with helping out with any questions I had. I also want to thank all of my friends who put in hours working on the car with me! Not sure what car is in the works next, I know that it wont be any where near as modded as CAMN was. Anyway, if you are ever in Ogden, Utah....look out for her!

-Daniel

Sorry you had to let it go. Sounds like it was for the better though. Good luck with whatever you get to replace it.

BTW, have you thought about running down an '04 GTO? They're going cheap, and it seems like a good median for comfort, practicallity, and performance....

Sad to hear Daniel. Man that car was YOU. Outta 12 to 15 F-bods to pass me by broken down one night on 1960 centerlane, this was the only guy to stop to help me out, stand up guy in our community.

I'm just as sad to see CAMN go as you are Daniel. That car is YOU, everyone knows you from your car. She car will always be yours. It was a pleasure working on as well as driving CAMN every now and then. She will be missed.
